Dump and chase was very effective when the Sedins were on the ice. The D would time it right and Danny would get to the puck first and start the cycle with Hank and hardly ever lose possession..

Dump and chase can still be effective, if you set the system up better.
What the Canucks do is dump the puck into the corner to hard, allowing the goalie to easily get it and they often dump it into the corner of the winger who is stationary, not the corner of the player who is in motion.
The other problem I see with the way they often dump it in, is to allow for a line change with all 3 forwards heading off at the same time. They need to have the guy furthest from the bench, make the change and either the centre or the winger closest to the bench, has to put a bit of pressure on in the offensive zone and change up once replacements get on the ice.

Always get that guy mixed up with Campoli. Campoli being the guy who coughed up the puck to Burrows in game seven OT (the “slay the dragon” goal).

Interesting story… Campoli was a seven year veteran before joining the Hawks as a deadline pickup. Coughed that puck up in OT and only played 43 more NHL games after that before being banished to Europe. I wonder if he was blackballed because of that gaff?

Why? Too positive?

Jake clears unconditional waivers.

Has there been any updates on Jake's investigation? I only heard the details when it started. Anonymous accuser who said they filed a police complaint when it allegedly happened,,,, which the police denied iirc. Has this person stepped forward and identified themselves yet? Is there any actual evidence yet?

you want regular updates on a criminal investigation?

or you think that civil cases play out in a matter of months?

just curious, in a he said/she said, what "actual evidence," would satisfy you?

and last but not least, who gives a fcuk about that fat, over privileged piece of sh!t who squandered numerous opportunities and is no longer a canuck?

Little too rowdy for the locker room

I feel like this hockey news cycle isn't going to let up this summer.

We've got qualifying offers today and free agency on Wednesday, then they're quickly going to have to schedule all the arb hearings into August — and maybe early September?

Haven't even looked at the schedule yet for the big club or for Abbotsford.

For today, I've got the QO landscape, Jake's buyout and a first look at the draft class.
